Default Spiral nails pulling out of deck

There are 6 or 8 spiral nails on our deck that will not stay down. The
boards are flat on the deck and do not appear to be cupped or warped.
But, within about 3 months of driving the nails down, they are back
up.
I have used 3 inch drywall screws to build two buildings over ten years ago the screws are in the treated wood and are pulling out and building is falling down, I understand there was a law suit against the dry wall screw, does anyone know where I can find information on this

Thanks
Should I pull the nails and replace them with the next size larger
spiral nail?

Should I pull the nails and replace them with coated deck screws?
